but children need to be taught what a gun is all about, at an appropriate age of course.

Just what is a gun all about? A gun is all about launching a projectile down range in a controlled manner, usually with the intended goal of hitting some sort of target, often with the goal of damaging that target in some manner, sometimes with the hopes of stopping or killing the target.

I am fairly certain most of the shooters noted here are very familiar with what a gun is all about, even if they aren't all that particularly proficient with them.
